Improvement in Tie-Guides for Fishing-Rods,

of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference isto he had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in

[0 Which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of iny improvement shown as applied to afishing-rod. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 3

is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is aplan view of a blank guidebefore shape.

The object of this invention is to facilitate and cheapen theconstruction of the guides for being bent into fishing-rods.

The nature of this invention consists of a guide, cylindrical incross-section at its middle, and constructed of a piece of metal, havingpointed ends, inclined side edges leading inward from thebases of saidpoints, and

curved recesses between the inner ends of the inclined side edges andthe bases of the points, substantially as hereinafter morefullysetforth.

A represents a part of anordinary fishing- 0 rod, and B represents apart of a fishing-line.

O is a tie-guide through which the line B passes, and which is securedto the rod A by cords or wire D, wound around the rod A and the pointsof the guide C, or by ferrules or bands slipped upon the red A over thepoints of the guide 0.

The guideblank C is cut from sheet metal in about the shape showninFig.4, with points 1, inclined side edges, 2, leading inward from thebases of the points 1, and curved recesses 3 between the inner ends ofthe inclined side edges 2 and the bases of the points 1 The blank G isthen bent around a form into the shape shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3.

By this construction strong, durable, neat, and light guides areproduced, and at a inuch less expense than when made in the ordinarymanner. I

The adjacent inclined edges of the body or tubular part of the guide 0,shown in Fig. 3, can be left free, or can be soldered together, as maybe desired.

Having thus fully described my invention,I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent The tie-guide for fishing-rods, cylindrical incross-section at its middle, and constructed of the piece of metal 0,having pointed ends 1, inclined side edges2 leading inward from thebases of said points, and curved recesses 3 between the inner endsof theinclined side edges and the bases of the points, substantially asdescribed.
